Old Forester Bourbon

Old Forester Bourbon

When this bourbon was introduced in the 1870s, bottles of Old Forester were sealed as a way to guard against adulteration and substitution of the contents, and were initially sold in pharmacies as a medicinal product. Old Forester 86 Proof is made in the same classic style originated by George Garvin Brown in 1870. In the late nineteenth century whiskey was generally sold to bars and grocers by distilleries in whole whiskey barrels. George Brown, being aware of this harmful practice and seeing a potential business opportunity, took advantage of the increased mass production of glass bottles and became the first to create a pre-bottled whiskey. Until Prohibition in the United States began in 1920, Old Forester was the leading brand produced by Brown's company. Since then, other brands acquired later by the company, such as Early Times and Jack Daniel's
have become its leading products.

Old
Forester 1870 Original Batch Bourbon
Old Forester 1870 Original Batch echoes Brown’s original 1870 batching process.
Back then, Brown batched barrels obtained from three different distilleries to
create a consistent flavor profile. To emulate that process, today Old Forester
selects barrels from three different warehouses, with each barrel originating
from a different day of production, with a different entry proof and a different
age profile. The three expressions of Old Forester are batched together to craft
Old Forester 1870 Original Batch. This 90-proof bourbon will be minimally
filtered, to honor the processes available to George Garvin Brown at that time.

Old Forester Bourbon 86 proof
Old Forester is richer in rye than most bourbons, resulting in a uniquely full, rich, genuine character. A definite viscous mouthfeel with the corn sweetness taking the most prominent part. Quick leather and then a little burn leading to charred oak, earth tones with leather and vanilla bean. Fair amount of burn as it goes down. The finish is moderate in length with dry oak and some bitter char.

BourbonBourbon whiskey is a type of American whiskey – a barrel-aged distilled spirit made primarily from corn. The name derives from the French Bourbon dynasty, although it is disputed whether its namesake Kentucky county or New Orleans street is the source of the whiskey's name. Small craft distillers in
Kentucky will soon outnumber the big ones, if they don’t already. The bourbon boom has come full circle, back to small startups, which is what Jim Beam, Brown-Forman and Heaven Hill once were.
